"You need to provide evidence that God doesn't exist" That's easy. It stems completely from the fact that no evidence shows that he does. While true that a lack of evidence doesn't necessarily mean that God doesn't exist, but that you can't make the claim that he *does* exist without that evidence. So without that evidence your claim is moot and I no longer need to provide anything further. Hitchens' Razor, plain and simple.
Exactly!
Hitchens razor for the win!

Is Atheism a belief system?
Short answer: No!
Long answer: Nnnnnnnooooooo! 🙃

"Christianity is the most reasonable of all religions."
There's another bold claim that isn't going to be satisfactorily proven.
I dunno, I think Jain's pacifism is much more reasonable than Christianity's burning of witches.
Which sect?
The only one that's actually more reasonable is Buddhism and that's not actually a religion it's a philosophy.
@@Rosivok Does it have a collection plate? Do people get shunned if they leave?
Yup, Christians have very reasonably done in a great many people over the centuries, in the name of their belief.
The Cathars of Southern France are just one example. They were wiped out in the 13th century.
The meaning of the word 'belief' is not the same as the meaning of the word 'fact'. If you tell a runner that you believe that he can win the race, it does not mean that you are certain that the runner will win the race. Religious people try very hard to present their beliefs as facts, at the same time as claiming that different beliefs are false. They are just different beliefs.
I think that it is really funny to watch people struggle to promote their religious claims.
I grew up in an environment where religion never existed.
Of course I knew of the bible and we read it in school, but, to me it was a book of stories that was trying to teach some kind of moral. I always thought that it meant the same to everybody.
I was in my late thirties when I had a discussion with a young guy that was a creationist. I was completely shocked when I realized that he actually believed every word in the bible.
Many years later I started to look more into how religion twist peoples minds. It was then I learned that what I always had called "normal people" should be called "atheists".
It still amazes me that fully functional and grown up people can believe in these fairy tales.
They're not really fully functional, they lack the ability to think for themselves.
Same here. And when I openly questioned the idiotic stories I got slapped by the religious teacher which taught me a learning or two.
1) Religion is answers that is not correct but can't be questioned
2) When pointing out inconsistencies you are punished by the "superior moral" of religion.
"That which can be asserted without evidence (in this case "God"), can be dismissed without evidence". Uncle Hitch again...

I grew up Jehovah's Witness, became an atheist 25 years ago. I dunno if it's better. I dunno if I should even post this. In reality I miss the warmth of faith and fellowship. But I can't dismiss the truth, which is no god exists.
Nothing wrong with telling the truth of how you feel.
You miss JW's? It was hell just living next door to them.
Sounds reasonable. I’ve heard a number of atheists say they wish they could have the comfort and certainty of religion, but you can’t choose facts.

What's truly sad about this is that this guy is honestly just about the best Christian apologetics have to offer. If it sounds like a bunch of toddler level stabs at logic and reason, that's because it is. Theists never seem to understand the burden of proof, the fact that atheism is not a worldview, and that saying "I don't believe" is not the same as making a claim. Haven't any of these idiots heard of the gumball analogy?
I disagree and I'm not religious myself. Believing is every bit as much faith based as not believing. If you don't believe in a God or gods then it's because you have belief that they don't exist. That is not proof, anymore than theists belief in their chosen deity is proof.
Personally I feel there's every possibility there's something beyond my comprehension. Is it responsible for giving people hope? I don't know but I certainly don't knock it, or their belief if it does (be it real or not) the effect is real and that's all that matters.
It’s because they view everything through the warped world view that life itself is a test of whether any given human will cling to the indefensible belief in a christian god and succeed. Or reject the christian god and fail.
To them, neglecting to prostrate yourself to that particular god of their particular culture is an active rejection of the demands they have been brainwashed to believe are woven into the fabric of existence.
They cannot conceive of a pragmatic, take things as they come, don’t assume things before you have reason to believe they are real approach.
wow this young fella is straight outta church camp. he hasn't even lived in the real world. I'd challenge him to step outside of his comfort bubble and see if he comes back with a different world view

Christianity is one of the most unreasonable believes, a caring god that has many mutualy exclusive versions of beliefs in it. Yet doesn't care to tell us what the correct version is. The result is that the majority of people are doomed, DOOOMED, to not spend their afterlife without being in the presence of their god. Does that sound like a god that cares?
Heaven is free, and yet some people still want to be their own god despite being created beings , God is just enforcing thier own will upon them!
Recently I've been watching the Harmonic Atheist channel, where Tim Miller interviews people who have de-converted from Christianity after years of belief.
I've never believed in a god but these people did, and then through honest introspection and study, realized they were fooling themselves, and found great relief in leaving their religion behind.
I feel maybe Mr. Pointless Thoughts might be better employ his time talking to ex-Christians so they can explain to him how to escape his stifling fantasy.
Interesting that so many apologists want to change atheism into something that's easier for them to argue against. It's almost like looking for good evidence or arguments for their position, is coming up short.
He really shouldn't have used the phrase intellectual honesty. It makes his lack of self awareness too obvious.
Clueless Thorns states: "I am not going to allow you to be intellectually dishonest".
Shortly thereafter, he proceeds to do just that, himself.
I would like to ask him what it is like to go through life with a *broken hypocrisy meter!*
His hypocrisy meter is not broken, it's scale is just inverted.
OK he has convinced me "The Great God Om" is the one and only true God.
The Great God Om is the most reasonable of all beliefs.
You're forgetting about the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
So that's where the saying "Om, my God" came from!
Heretics all!
The only GOD is the Great Emperor of Mankind!!!!

Nah Blind Io is a far greater god
What part of i do not believe in God gets so complicated for theists to understand
If you debate him, ask him how God knows he is God? How does God know that there isn't a bigger God that created God? And how does that bigger God know he is the Real God and that there isn't a bigger God? And so on.
That's the same as "Elephants all the way down" 😏
That sort of logic doesn't work for theists, who simply use special pleading to assert that all their OTHER unevidenced assertions don't apply to God because...reasons?
"I'm not going to allow you to be intellectually dishonest". Meanwhile I'm going to be so intellectually dishonest it hurts!!!
6:07 Nope. I don't believe that pen is green. I KNOW it is green because I have seen very strong evidence indicating it is green. I've seen the pen and the color of it is green.
Strength of the evidence as the basis for moving from "believing" to "knowing" is something apologists don't ever seem to talk about.
I'm colorblind so I'll stick with "not red" unless it is clearly labeled. =P Granted, I can't say for sure it isn't red...fine, "not blue."
@@Syrph. I was going to say "What about people who are colourblind. Is it still green then?" lol
Actually, I don't KNOW that it's a pen at all, (it might simply be a 3D print that has no functional purpose, for example). Nor do I KNOW that it's green (it might have been color corrected in editing). But, I am willing to accept (believe) both those points as being perfectly normal aspects of reality. Now if only risen Jesus and Nessie could meet that same criteria.
@@TanjoGalbi Good point. However I was speaking for myself and I'm not colorblind. If I was colorblind and I knew someone who was not, who had a consistent history of being truthful, and if that person told me it was green I'd have nearly the same level of certainty.
@@markdoldon8852 Yes, that is why I said "very strong" rather than some word such as "absolute" or "irrefutable". We don't need 100% certainty to move from believing to knowing. We just need a lot. It helps if there is no other explanation that is nearly as plausible. Two very possible but differing answers would open up uncertainty again. I've always liked the idea of "preponderance of the evidence". At a certain point we are prepared to make very, very big decisions (lengthy prison sentences, even the death penalty) in our judicial system even though we don't have "absolute" proof.
I was born an atheist like everyone else; I cannot see how is in any way a "religion."

I'm a Christian. Athiesm isn't a belief system. To suggest it is is ignorant! What a load of nonsense, and arrogance. Embarrassing.
Unfortunately this is where any excessive immersion in any ideology can take someone. Normal everyday standards of thought fly out of the window and are replaced by blind adherence to whatever the victim conceives is The One Unassailable Truth. Combine it with some sort of conspiracy theory (eg Christians are being persecuted for their beliefs) and it's only a matter of time before some poor deluded bastard reaches for a gun.

Speaking of intellectual dishonesty...
"Atheism does not make claims" is indeed a claim. But it's not a claim made *by* atheism, it's a claim made *about* atheism.
Of course, since he clearly failed Philosophy 101, I'm not expecting him to acknowledge the difference.
Oh, lovely. Someone else telling me what I do or do not believe. 🙄
yeah, that's irritating. Just a couple days ago (night before Easter, I think), Wybenga came to MCToons live-chat to tell everyone there what MCToon thought of us atheists. The things he was saying were very insulting to Toon and simply not true, in my opinion.
It was difficult to not respond, but very satisfying that almost nobody did respond to him. His hateful attempt at winding up the audience went mostly ignored.
It's a desperate, manipulative move, twisting words and ones own beliefs and injecting them into someone else's character.
This guy sits in a park everyday, yelling "jesus saves" at everyone that goes by and he wears a sign around his neck that says "god is the answer", and he uses the exact same words and explanations with everyone that wants to debate him. Its funny how he keeps checking to make sure that you can see his hands in the shot too, because he thinks that a bunch of hand movement is going to talk you into believing what he believes in.
Well,he's got it almost right...but the phrase should be "GOLD is the answer"...
And the other should be "save at jeebus's" and it ends being a sandwich joint.

Pointless Thorns, can you please define belief for us? My definition is that a believe is anything I think is true. If I hold a believe to be true but lack good evidence, that is what I call faith. A believe that has evidence for being true is what I call knowledge. Can something that what I call knowledge be false, yes. For example I know that my electric grid is 230V, 50Hz based on all information I have gathered from the specification of my electrical devices, but plugging a multimeter into a socket results in 231 +/- 0.4 V and 50 - 0.02 Hz. The nice thing about faith is that you can believe ANYTHING to be true on faith.
But is your god claim a knowledge or faith based claim? I see no good evidence for any claims for your god so far presented. So that points to faith instead of knowledge. But is there even a truth to be found with faith? I see a lot of conflicts in the god you believe in. There are many version that all claim to be the one and only true version, these version have slightly different version of a holy book, slightly different versions due to translations, slightly different versions due to interpretation (what is literal and what is an allegory?). It is a mess, how can I have any faith in such a mess?
But it gets worse, even all these different versions have some things in common, things that are internally contradictive, things that are proven to be wrong, things that are evidently wrong. These things make me believe christianity is false. This is in contrast to for example Hinduism or Shinto where I merely any evidence to make a rational choice to believe it or not. But guess what: you will have good reasons to tell me I'm wrong, apologetic reasons.
Yes, it's always a good idea to establish clear definitions. We don't necessarily need to agree on each other's definitions. But so long as we know what the other people mean when they use specific words, we'll at least have a better chance of understanding each other, even if we continue to disagree.
I've even heard 2 people have an argument over something about which they actually agreed, because they misunderstood each other's definitions and were misinterpreting each other's words.
*Dora Nku:* 👏👏👏👏👏 Very well stated! I totally agree with your points.
*FE Peer Review:* Also very good points!
9:00 That was a brilliant summary at the end. Thanks for this!
I'm a big Beatles fan. His presentation (I won't say "argument") makes about as much logical sense as Revolution #9.
You are wrong. Revolution #9 makes MUCH more sense and is WAY more logical than anything that he said in his presentation.
I had a friend last month who had a stillbirth. The baby's heart stopped beating two weeks before he was due. After that, I should not be allowed to question God's existence. The one they call the merciful God, the almighty God or the good God. Sorry, even though it is not scientifically possible to prove the non-existence of something, that event is still good enough for me.
I have a cousin who had a stillbirth; the baby died during delivery. My wife and I had 3 miscarriages (all in the first trimester, and happily we now have 2 healthy happy kids), but a stillbirth is thousands of times more heartbreaking.
That happened to my mother in the mid 80's for my only sister, right up to the last check-up she was perfectly fine then when the birth came she was not alive. My mother always wanted a daughter but alas it was never to be. So, if a god exists and that god is all loving like Christians claim, why did my sister and your friend's son have to die so close to leaving their mother's womb and beginning their lives proper? While such events are not proof a god does not exist, they are proof that if one (or more) does then they are not all loving and merciful as claimed by believers. They can not convince me there is a god based on their words alone. Show me solid proof a god exists and let me speak to that god and tell them what a true asshole they are!
Indeed, events like that don't necessarily disprove a god, but it does absolutely disprove the self contradictory christian God, since nothing "omnibenevolent" would put family or baby in that situation. No argument can convince me otherwise.
@@TanjoGalbi I took a recent event to explain my point of view, but it happened to my mother as well.... 9 years before my own birth. She also had two miscarriages. Life is weird and cruel sometimes, even though I can't imagine all the emotions and sadness my mother had to go through, if those events had not occurred, I would most likely not be existing today. Don't get me wrong, I would still rather that no mothers, mine included, have to go through such horrible events.
Here is a dissection of the pen example.
1) I know from previous experience that pens exist.
2) I know from previous experience that some pens are green.
3) I know from previous experience that if I see what appears to be a green pen then most likely I am looking at a green pen - but other possibilities exist.
4) The likelihood of the pen existing and actually being a pen is increased if other people can also see the same pen and interact with it physically.
a) I do not know that any Gods exist.
b) I do not know that the Christian God exists.
c) I know that the existence of the Christian God is inconsistent with several aspects of observed reality. Thus, I have reason to conclude the Christian God does not exist.
d) I know that multiple people who claim to experience and be in personal communication with the Christian God can provide no evidence that this is in fact the case AND fail to agree with one another on what God communicates.
Playing word games because you don't have any arguments and then claim victory... great job, Christian ;=)
If I had a nickel for every theist that says they were once an atheist I'd be a rich man.

Technically, Buddhism is an atheistic religion. I would argue that their worldview is considerably different from most atheists I know. So it might be reasonable to say that atheism describes a set of possible worldviews, plural, but certainly not one.
Also, he's just plain obnoxious. He could have a point here, but I lost interest in it because of his desire to insult something that he makes it clear is not his own identity. His motivation seems to be a deep need for a "win," but what on earth would he be "winning?" Based on the attitude, I'd say it's all about his personal superiority. If that's not what he wants to convey, well, he failed.
I would suggest it is and can never be a world view. It is merely a stance on one position that a god has never been demonstrated
@@dennispickard7743 No because without special pleading it cannot be demonstrated. However the bible describes god as a physical entity that looks like every human ( figure that one out ) Not only that its male, what a surprise

You want evidence that God doesn't exist??? Look around you. Can you see God? No? There's my evidence! If he's omnipresent, we should all be able to see him at all times! Oh, he's invisible??

An atheist only believe in one god less than him. That's one less out of the several millions of gods that we find in Human History. Hinduism, all by itself, have over 6000000 gods. The Egyptian pantheon may have even more. After all, according to ancient Egyptian theology, everybody become at least a lesser god after death. Then, the ancient Chinese had the Celestial bureaucracy with innumerable gods and godly servants. That makes him at least 1/20000000 less atheist than I am.
Pretty straight forward explanation of the lack of evidence for any deity existing. Surely conflating this to presume a common atheist world view is simply a projection from the religious side?
That person's ramblings are giving me a headache.

I've seen a grainy photograph of "Nessie" but never of any god...
I think the very first thing this chap needs to do is re-examine his social skills, which he most admirably demonstrates are non existent.
@3:50 I would not go so far as to say ignorance is a good thing. It's not a bad thing either. It's just your state of being when you don't know something, neither good nor bad. You can, however, handle that ignorance in a good or bad way. The good way would be to strive to replace that ignorance with knowledge. The bad way would be to pretend you're not ignorant and proudly proclaim you already have all the answers.
So, is it "Pointless Thorns", "Pointless Thoughts", or "Thoughtless Points"?
Yes.
How dare he not believe in Nessie, quite rude if you ask me.
No.
Yeaaaah... um...
No.
There is a difference in thinking that there may be a God as in the creator of the universe vs. the personal God that the religious believe in as in Christianity. I do not know if the prior god exists. Maybe, maybe not. But the God of the Bible that forms the basis of Judaism and Christianity? I see no proof of that god at all. None. In fact, that god makes no sense at all.
